Default Regeneration to Distribution

Here’s what I’m doing For the Love of Music, just a matter of making a few hours next week to pull some gear, reroute cabling, reconfigure my power distribution and do a little spring clean up.

I’m pulling the PS Audio P10, and inserting a Nordost QRT QBase Mark II, providing a straight-line AC distribution path, combined with star-earthed topology mated to my QKore 6 to create a system wide parallel grounding device.

For soundstage and dynamics, the QX4 power purifier will be fed with a Valhalla 2 power cable from the wall and gonna try my new Ansuz Ceramic between the QBase 8 outlet distributor and QX4, and plug in 2 each Harmonizers and Enhancers.

What I noticed tonight on the P10 incoming THD is about double from normal. I do like having this and other information viewable. The P10 is a great unit, and may end up as a second unit.

Plan X - If sound is not better across the board, I’ll revert back to the P10 and start building a second system with QBase.

As most will agree, a good amount of doing stuff like this really depends lots on the variables between the room itself, speakers, components and power, all in the name of percentage gain. This change is relatively low cost and completes my system, and believe will yield more openness in every sense.

Will post in a couple of weeks with findings and pictures, until then...enjoy your sound ��

Good luck with your new power distribution and QKORE ground system, should prove to be very interesting and I look forward to your findings!

Look forward to hearing and sharing.

Routed in the Ansuz to the PreAmp last night to mess around, and initial impression there is good, the plugs are solid, feeling better then Nordost Holo plugs, great build quality and performance wise, a slight push out the gate.

If your familiar with Up To Me on Jethro Tulls Aqualung the first guitar track can be a bit bright with a burst of fatigue if your not familiar and now has just rounded very nicely - just not sure as I moved back the Stillpoint Ultra SS to the N10 and DAC from the Monos, putting OEM stands back under them.

QKore has been in for a bit, and if your not grounding you ain’t sounding 🤭
